Pakistan secured $11 billion in external financing between July and April, an increase of around 83 per cent compared with the $6 billion received during the same period last year, according to the Ministry of Economic Affairs.
Officials said the increase in foreign funding was supported by bilateral and multilateral assistance, along with deferred payment arrangements, and rollovers of existing deposits.
According to the ministry, the total external inflows included $8.31 billion in non-project financing, while project-related financing stood at $2.7566 billion during the period.
Pakistan also received $120 million in grants during the same period, compared with $570 million recorded in the corresponding period last year.
A significant share of the funding was received in April 2026 alone, when the country secured nearly $4.5 billion in external inflows.
Among major contributors, Saudi Arabia provided a $1 billion oil financing facility through deferred payment arrangements, while the Islamic Development Bank extended loans worth $480 million.
